AS WAS PREDICTCTED ON THIS BLOG --- BOB
CAPANO IS ABOUT TO BRING HIS CAMPAIGN TO A NEW LEVEL OF UP-TO-DATE PR, NEWS AND
INFORMATION OUTREACH --- TOGETHER WITH A MULTIFACETED INTER-ACTIVITY
CAPABILITY

Thanks to a secret link that had been given-out to some
local newspapers and bloggers, it can now be said that Bob Capano's website is all set; it looks
good; and it’s ready-to-go..... Seeing and trying is believing.....

The headline banner to the site is quite attractive and proclaims,
“Bob Capano – City Council” – “New
Leadership”….. Admittedly, the photo of Bob Capano is sort of ordinary --- but Bob promises lots more pictures very soon....

However, the real news here is that Bob Capano’s site is so user friendly and easy to navigate. There are multiple paths to all of the major
categories on the site, and some of the
most prominent of those links are interactive.

The interactive links are currently to Capano’s Facebook site,
to a “Sign the Petition” site and a “Get Involved” sign-up link that
contains several sub-categories, including a comments section. >>>
[ Bob Capano has also informed me that the site can also be expanded to
include specific categories, like a separate fund-raising link compliant with
the City-wide “Matching Funds” program, whether
or not the Capano Campaign decides it
will go after matching funds.…]

PS --- As an
interesting side note,Bob Capano’s new
website is done by same company,“Electoral media,”that did websites for Brooklyn& SI GOP Assemblymember Nicole
Malliotakis,SI & Brooklyn GOP Congressman
Dan Donovan,the Queens County GOP and others.....

Next, let’s
compare the campaign websites of the other people mentioned as possible GOP "CANDIDATES”for the 43rd Council District..... Wait a minute !!!THERE AREN’T ANY.....

Capano’s >>>
“Bob Capano -- NEW LEADERSHIP” <<< banner
tells many stories in just four words

N.B.:
Capano's banner doesn’t mention the "43rd Council District" or the "New York City
Council" --- Remember what I said about “Magic Words”….. “Bob Capano -- NEW LEADERSHIP” are some of those "Magic Words"

Check out Bob Capano’s new “Public Figure” Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/Bob-Capano-1938165036410449/?fref=ts]. Once again, the only candidate openly
campaigning for the Brooklyn City Council seat now held by Vinny Gentile shows that he’s
way ahead of the competition.

Now it can be told that
--- “Bob Capano -- NEW LEADERSHIP” is a thoughtful and value-laden graphic banner, which
proclaims Robert Capano is the new sheriff on the block for the Brooklyn GOP.

That means Bob Capano is more than willing to go directly up against any
and all pretenders to leadership inside the Brooklyn GOP ---
and, yes, that does mean a guy, like Ted Ghorra, who’s going around saying he’s the Brooklyn GOP “leader” even though the judge on his case said he isn’t. >>> (Note, the last and only properly selected Brooklyn GOP County Leader still standing, Craig Eaton, has been seen and heard "everywhere" supporting Bob Capano) <<<

Capano’s also saying that he’s willing to take on all
challengers --- from the lowliest Marty Golden or Dan Donovan
staffer, up to and including, those headline-hogging office-holders themselves.

The RECORD clearly indicates that word about the FBI “traffic
stop” in Brooklyn of several persons of interest connected to this past weekend’s Chelsea bombing, a nearby unexploded
pressure-cooker, and related New Jersey pipe-bombings and unexploded pipe-bombs was LEAKED to the
press by Bay Ridge Republican State Senator Martin Golden

One of Golden’s critics inside the Brooklyn GOP indicated
that they had received several calls from Golden’s constituents complaining
that the leak from the Brooklyn State Senator was irresponsible and very likely
compromised FBI and police efforts to completely round up all of the possible evil
doers connected to the Metropolitan Area terror bombings

According to the NY Post ---“FBI agents arrested five
men who may be connected to Saturday’s bombing in Chelsea after stopping their car in Brooklyn, sources said….The men were heading over the Verrazano
Bridge from Staten Island when they were stopped Sunday night….Sources said the FBI suspected the men may
have had a role in the bombing and were questioning them at the FBI
headquarters in Manhattan….It is
believed the men, who live in New Jersey, were heading to the airport when they
were busted….”(See “FBI detains 5 in connection to
Chelsea bombing” by
Larry Celona, 9/18/16 [11:09 PM]NY
Post/
Metro [http://nypost.com/2016/09/18/FBI-DETAINS-5-IN-CONNECTION-TO-CHELSEA-BOMBING/]).Following the material quoted above, the NY Post
contained an illustration ofa Facebook
post, which they had received from New York State Senator Martin Golden.

A later story in the NY Daily News specifically named the
Brooklyn State Senator as the source of the information in its coverage of the FBI's Belt Parkway
"traffic stop," as follows:“….An
Instagram account for New York State Sen. Marty Golden, citing the NYPD, said
the FBI nabbed several individuals “with a possible connection to the bombing”
on the Belt Parkway near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in Brooklyn at around
9:30 p.m….” (See “FBI detains five people near Verrazano Bridge in possible connection to
Chelsea bombing after pipe bomb cache find in New Jersey” by Rocco Parascandola, Nicole Hensley, Andy Mai
& Leonard Greene 9/19/16 [9:00 AM], NY Daily News[http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/federal-agents-arrest-people-linked-chelsea-bombing-article-1.2797378]).

GOLDEN’S FACEBOOK PAGE

A quick look at Marty Golden’s own Facebook
page discloses that he posted the information shown in the Post and Daily News
articles no later than 10:20 PM on September 18th (SeeMarty Golden’s Facebook posting of
9/18/16[https://www.facebook.com/699064456892439/photos/a.699154833550068.1073741836.699064456892439/883540381778178/?type=3&theater]). That
would be less than an hour after the time of the FBI “traffic stop” as reported
in the NY Daily News.

SOME LOCAL FALL-OUT

A leading Brooklyn GOP activists called me and asked if I
would let people know that there have been some complaints that Marty Golden’s
big mouth and desire to curry favor with some members of the city-wide press jeopardized
other New Yorkers and possibly even
national security by alerting the main perpetrator, causing himto flee his Elizabeth NJ neighborhood at
around midnight ---or shortly after the
Golden leak had been made public by the media (even though the principal suspect was luckily found
in Linden, NJ early the next day and arrested after a shoot-out with local police).

If there were any other perps, or
connected Islamist radicals, they are off into the wind; all thanks to
Marty's loose lips and itchy fingers.

McCabe and Quaglione were AWOL ---
giving more of an indication that they aren’t running

Virtually all of those mentioned as candidates for the 2017
race for the 43rd City Council District were at the Community
Planning Board 10 meeting on Monday evening.

That means Liam McCabe and John Quaglione have most likely taken themselves
out of the running, because they were
notorious by their absence.

As has often been the case at recent gatherings, Bob Capano was accompanied by former Brooklyn
GOP County Chairman Craig Eaton. They
worked the room in tandem; and, to all outward appearances, they were greeted
in a friendly manner by most of the Bay Ridge activists in attendance, many of whom engaged them in lengthy conversations about politics and upcoming races.

The whole panoply of those mentioned as likely 2017 Democratic
Party candidates for the 43rd Council seat were there as well --- including
Justin Brannan, Kevin Peter Carroll and Peter Abbate.

One does have to wonder if McCabe’s and Quaglione’s bosses
have given them the order to “STAND DOWN”
from any moves toward the 2017 nomination for the Council seat for Bay Ridge
and the neighboring communities.

Trump says Obama was born in the U.S.A >>> “PERIOD” --- But before that Trump said Hillary started the
whole birther story and that he ended it…..

Hillary says Trump was the country’s top birther for five years.....

MSM immediately declares that Trump is wrong and Hillary is right --- And
that’s all there is to it

NOT SO FAST !!! --- Says the right wing media

The main stream news coverage of the Trump “birther” announcement is, as usual, despicable and shows who’s really in the basket of deplorables in our society.

For example, this afternoon, “The Wall Street Journal” reported that ---“Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for the first time conceded that President Barack Obama was born in the U.S., standing down from years of false accusations about Mr. Obama that made the businessman the central figure in the discredited “birther” movement….“President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again,” Mr. Trump said at his newly opened hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue….Mr. Trump’s statement marks an attempt to put to rest a conspiracy theory he fanned for years, though he again falsely assigned blame on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for the incorrect suggestion that Hawaii-born Mr. Obama was born overseas….There is no evidencethat Mrs. Clinton or her 2008 campaign launched the birther movement, an assertion Mr. Trump and his supporters have long claimed is true. Mr. Trump didn’t take questions from the reporters he gathered to the event. He flashed two thumbs-up as he left the hotel ballroom….” (See “Donald Trump Says Barack Obama Was Born in U.S. After Years of Sowing Doubt --GOP candidate also raises discredited theory that Hillary Clinton started ‘birther movement’” by Michael C. Bender & Reid J.Epstein, The Wall Street Journal [http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-says-barack-obama-was-born-in-u-s-after-years-of-sowing-doubt-1474041185]). ---So many lies in so few words…..

RIGHT WING MEDIA RESPONDS --- VERY QUICKLY

The Conservative oriented media didn’t stay silent long. By mid -afternoon, the top two links on the Drudge Report homepage were the following: “Hillary Campaign Manager Admits 2008 Birther Link...” and “Journalist Says Blumenthal ‘Spread Rumor to Him’…” (See Drudge Report, 9/16/16 [http://www.drudgereport.com/]). Those two links were to two articles posted earlier today one by Breitbart News ( See “Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager Admits 2008 Birther Link”by Joel B. Pollack, 9/16/16, Breitbart News/ Big Government [http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/09/16/hillary-clinton-campaign-manager-admits-birtherism-started/];andthe other from Mediaite ( See “Journalist Says That Clinton Ally Blumenthal Once ‘Spread the Birther Rumor to Me’ by Josh Feldman,9/16/16,Mediaite.[http://www.mediaite.com/online/journalist-says-that-clinton-ally-blumenthal-once-spread-the-birther-rumor-to-me/]). Many other right-wing outlets on the internet and/or the blogosphere followed suit.

It doesn’t look like the “He said – She said” meme vis a vis the birth and fostering of “birtherism” will end any time soon.

First she
said it was “sexism” --- then it was “nothing”
--- then it was “allergies”--- then it was “pneumonia caused by.allergies” ---
What they all had in common were that they involved questions about HRC’s
fitness serve because of issues about her health

If Hillary
has to quit because of any kind of health condition, or anything else --- it would be UNPRECEDENTED ---
AND it would be >>> BAD, BAD, BAD <<< for AMERICAN WOMEN

According to the Daily News,“If Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump get too
sick to campaign, we’re in for a last-minute mess….Clinton’s health scare on Sunday — and her campaign’s shady disclosure
that she is battling pneumonia — raised questions about her White House
fitness, with less than 60 days before the election….” ( See “Here’s what happens if Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump drop out of the
campaign for health problems” by Jason Silverstein, 9/12/16, NY Daily News/
Politics. [http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/clinton-trump-sick-campaign-article-1.2788686]).

The DN article goes
on to ask this straightforward question:“….[W]hat happens if the
nominees get too sick to keep fighting for the White House?...Diagnosis: confusion….The Constitution — which established the
terms for the presidency and the vice presidency — doesn’t specify what should
happen if the nominees need a health leave….The closest answer, then, lies with the respective political parties — both
of which have their own rules for picking a replacement….”

The next paragraph was the only important part in the whole
piece by Jason Silverstein,“….If Clinton cannot campaign and drops out, the
Democratic National Committee has to fill her spot, according to its charter.
The party would hold a special meeting, with officials getting one vote each. Whoever
wins the majority wins the nomination….”---IT WAS THE WHOLE REASON FOR
THE ARTICLE AND THERE’S THE RUB….

Anything
that causes Hillary Clinton to drop out this race would be more disruptive to
the process, as a whole, than allowing her continue through to election day.---The News’ writer pretty much acknowledged that with this observation: “….Even with these rules on
the books, though, the process remains speculative, because it has never been
necessary….”

---As important as that might be, it’s far more
important for American women that HRC’s run for president go through to its
proper conclusion---a vote in the national election on Election
Day.---…Whether one believes the gender card can trump
any of the other cards or not,many
Americans are invested in Hillary Clinton’s run for the presidency, because she
is the first female candidate for President of the United States that has won a
major party nomination. If that doesn’t result in a vote for or
against that woman, it will be a complete MISCARRIAGE. Furthermore, it would be
completely unprecedented in the annals of major party nominees.---Those two factors should make the merest consideration of the possibility
--- an outrage.

CAPANO: SARSOUR IS "PART OF RACIST RADICAL
LEFT ALONG WITH HER COMRADE, FORMER BLACK PANTHER CHARLES BARRON"

{Brooklyn, NY} –
Bob Capano, a staunch supporter of the NYPD and the leading Republican
City Council candidate for Brooklyn's 43rd district (Bay Ridge, Dyker
Heights, Bensonhurst) race next year, condemned Linda Sarsour, his
potential Democratic opponent, for her defense of a raucous protest at
City Hall that saw cops remove demonstrators and delayed a City Council
Contracts committee meeting for over an hour.

Linda Sarsour, who has been widely rumored to be seeking to
replace term-limited Councilman Vincent Gentile next year, defended the
protest in published reports and on twitter. One publication said the
demonstration against a City Council resolution condemning boycotts
against Israel had a "militant tone." The resolution
opposes "all efforts to delegitimize the state of Israel and the
global movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction the people of
Israel." Ms. Sarsour strongly opposes the City Council
resolution and supports the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement
against Israel. Assemblyman Charles Barron also spoke against the
resolution.

Capano, who has been the most outspoken local critic of Sarsour,
including leading a call to have her removed from Brooklyn Community
Board 10 last year stated, "Once again, Linda Sarsour demonstrated
why she is radical and wrong to serve as a member of the City Council.
She is part of the racist radical left along with her comrade and former
Black Panther, Assemblyman Charles Barron. You do not get your view
points across by shutting down a democratic institution. This latest
incident is just a continuation of her long record of extreme rhetoric
and actions." Protesters chanted "Zionism is racism" as
they were ushered out by police.

Capano also noted that Sarsour, a well-known pro-Palestinian activist and
Executive Director of the Arab-American Association of New
York, participated in an anti-police protest outside of Gracie
Mansion on December 3, 2015 where she was arrested. Video from the
protest shows one of the participants yelling in the face of a police
officer "Nobody looks at you like a hero, just a racist". It
also shows Sarsour and others chanting about "the violence
of racist police."

Capano, who was the District Director to former Republican Congressman
Bob Turner (Brooklyn-Queens), condemned the NYC Fiscal Year 2017 Expense
Budget allocation of at least $23,750 to the Arab-American Association.
He said, "It is outrageous that taxpayer money is being used to fund
an organization whose Executive Director supports halting government
meetings through protests, encourages violence, does not condemn
terrorist attacks against Israel, and views our police as
racist."

Last October, Sarsour posted on her twitter account a photo of
a Palestinian boy preparing to throw a rock at Israeli soldiers and
called it “The definition of courage". When Democratic Queens
Councilman Rory Lancman condemned Sarsour’s comments that same day
by stating, “Attacking Jews at their homes, schools, supermarkets,
cafes, buses, roads, synagogues and Seder tables is barbarous, and
enlisting children to commit those acts is even more
so,” Sarsour responded by stating, “The Zionist trolls are out
to play. You will never silence me."

The Wa-Po
in an offhand comment identified him as “…Secret Service Assistant Special Agent in Charge Todd
Madison…” --- However, The World Net
Daily has noted that neither the Clinton Campaign nor the U.S. Secret Service
has confirmed that identification.

What we do know is ---
he’s a portly bearish sort of black man that pushes Secret Service men
aside, man-handles the Democratic presidential candidate, carries what might
well be a “'Diazepam pen,” and
at least once, he even gave HRC a little
hug and whispered into her ear to comfort her when she seemed dazed and confused
by demonstrators

A recent post appeared on 'The Gateway Pundit” blog; and it
noted that at a rally in early August, when Hillary Clinton was interrupted by
animal rights activists, men in suits, presumably Secret Service agents, rushed
onto the stage. One of them came up next
to HRC, put his hand on her shoulder and said,
“You're OK. Keep talking. You handled it, we're not going anywhere….” (See “Wow!
Hillary’s Mysterious Handler Pops Up on Plane During Coughing Fit” by Jim
Hoft, 9/6/16, The Gateway Pundit [http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/09/wow-hillarys-mysterious-handler-pops-plane-coughing-fit/]).

Jim Hoft’s GP article went on to
note that when the microphone picked up the pep talk, it gave some observers a
“…new insight into Clinton's relationship with the outfit (the Secret Service) sworn
to protect her….” However, at the same time, certain conservative
commentators began to question what that particular man's role with the
campaign really was, insisting that he
was NOT a Secret Service agent.

Other conservative were even more specific in their observations about the “Mystery Man.” --- “Is he part of her campaign staff? Possibly a Secret Service agent? Maybe he’s some sort of emergency medical technician. Whoever he is, his identity is a bit of a mystery to the media…. And about the only thing for sure is that he’s conducted himself as some sort of a cross between her personal bodyguard, stand-by medic, body servant and campaign honcho… when Clinton was somewhat taken aback by a heckler at a campaign rally, the mystery man rushed to her side and reassuringly kept patting her on the back. He was then heard on the mic as telling her “Just keep talking, you’re OK. You can handle it.”… That obviously scratches him being a Secret Service agent. As anyone who understands even the most basic of security procedures, the Secret Service would never tell a protectee to carry on with a campaign speech in the middle of a potentially dangerous situation…. But then something very curious happens. The mystery handler physically moves two Secret Service agents off stage when it becomes obvious that it’s just a heckler in the crowd…. That prompts me to ask the rhetorical question, who in the world has that kind of power to shove two Secret Service agents around? Interesting, indeed….” (See “Hillary’s ‘mystery man’ raises eyebrows” by TK Whiteman. 9/7/16, The Conservative Firing Line/ Elections [http://conservativefiringline.com/hillarys-mystery-man-raises-eyebrows/]).

Whiteman’s article then goes on to quote a small
portion from a very detailed article in another conservative internet magazine,
the “American Thinker,” as follows [in part]:
“… there are a number of photos popping up on social media showing the
mysterious handler assisting Clinton;… Walk[ing] up just a few stair steps [with HRC]…. Being at {HRC’s}
her beckon call when the reporters were too much for her on Hill Force One…. At her side
carrying what has been assumed to be an auto-injector pen filed
with Diazepam…. So who is our man of mystery, and what is he doing
rushing to her aid when she coughs….” (See “Hillary’s mysterious handler ‘badge man’
pops up on campaign plane after coughing fit” by Thomas Lifson, 9/7/16, American Thinker [http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/09/hillarys_mysterious_handler_badge_man_pops_up_on_campaign_plane_after_coughing_fit.html]).

The matter has even made it the cable news. On
Wednesday, radio talk-show host Tammy Bruce made an appearance on “Varney
& Co.” on Fox News. At that time,
she talked about Hillary Clinton’s “mystery man” thus: “He actually moves other Secret Service
agents off the stage…. We have not been
informed who he is so we have to guess, in some way, who he is. But he seems to
be playing a very personal role. He appears when she seems to be in trouble,
either with the coughing or with some health issue or [another time to help
when she seemed to freeze] in her own personal reaction to what was a heckler …
It’s troubling because you’ve got a man who is also doing something that the
Secret Service wouldn’t do. He’s very physical with her. He touches her. He has
his arm around her. … It’s a legitimate question. Her health is legitimate….” (See
“Who is Hillary Clinton’s ‘Mystery Man’.” Panel “Varney & Co.”, 9/7/16, Fox Business News [http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/5115570636001/who-is-hillary-clintons-mystery-man/?#sp=show-clips]).

CLINTON
CAMPAIGN PUSHBACK --- HE’S A SECRET SERVICE AGENT PERIOD

Pushback from the Clinton campaign was
fast and furious. According to a report
in the Daily Mail --- “Hillary Clinton's
‘mysterious handler' who pops up from time to time on the campaign trail is a
Secret Service agent, her campaign says, and rumors that suggest otherwise are
'despicable.’[quoting a 9/6/16 Brien Fallon Tweet]…[in an earlier tweet of 8/16/16, another of Clinton's communications directors tried to debunk conspiracy theories, tweeting] “That is a US Secret Service agent with a
pen. Normal writing pen,' she wrote…. [In addition, a] spokeswoman for the
Secret Service confirmed that the man was part of Clinton's security detail in
an email to CNN that said, 'The item in the Detail Leader's hand is a
flashlight.'…” (See “Clinton camp says
Hillary's mysterious 'handler' is a Secret Service agent” by Francesca
Chambers, 9/7/16, Daily Mail/ News [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3778353/Clinton-camp-says-Hillary-s-mysterious-handler-Secret-Service-agent-claims-contrary-despicable.html]).

It’s very interesting that also on September 8th,
there was a Washington Post article obviously intended to debunk all of the right wing HRC health issue speculation (See “Armed with junk science and old photos, critics question
#HillarysHealth” by David Weigel, 9/8/16, Washington Post/ Post Politics
[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/08/08/armed-with-junk-science-and-old-photos-critics-question-hillaryshealth/]). In that article,
in an almost offhand manner,David Weigel identified the “mystery man” as Secret Service
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Todd Madison, as follows:. “… when
Clinton was campaigning in Las Vegas. Mid-speech, she paused and narrowed her
eyes to look at protesters. Secret Service Assistant Special Agent in
Charge Todd Madison rushed to her side, telling her that the situation was
under control, and that she could keep talking….”

THE MYSTERY “BODY MAN” STORY STILL MIGHT
HAVE LEGS & IT’S CERTAINLY FAR FROM OVER

And today the “World Net Daily” did a deep-dive
back to early 2013 finding a photo of the “Mystery Man” next to Bill Clinton
while Hillary is being brought home from the hospital for her blood clot…. (See
“Hillary's 'mystery man' spotted during blood-clot hospitalization” by Staff
Writer, 9/9/16, World Net Daily/ Election 2016 [http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/hillarys-mystery-man-spotted-during-blood-clot-hospitalization/]).

Although the WND article acknowledged the
apparent recent identification of the “Mystery Man” by the WaPo’s Daivd Weigel [as mentioned above], WND also
noted that inquiries to both the Hillary Clinton campaign and the U.S. Secret
Service asking about the man’s identity hadn’t been responded-to at the time of
its report, cited above.

Democrat Senator Bob Menendez (NJ), the Acting-Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was "BRIEFED" by Dept/ State prior to Benghazi Hearing in 2013...

... MEANWHILE, AS THAT WAS HAPPENING, MENENDEZ WAS BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI/DOJ
FOR CORRUPTION

OTHER LINKS BETWEEN PLAYERS MAKING OF EARLIEST FALSE BENGHAZI
NARRATIVES ALSO MADE CLEARER BY CITIZEN UNITED'S FOIA TROVE

According to a Catherine Herridge report on the Fox News Network --- “Newly released emails
suggest a senior Hillary Clinton aide stage-managed her first hearing on the
Benghazi terrorist attack by feeding specific topics Clinton wanted to address
to Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, who at the time was acting chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee…. ‘We wired it that Menendez would provide an
opportunity to address two topics we needed to debunk (her actions/whereabouts
on 9/11, and these email from Chris Stevens about moving locations,)’ Clinton
media gatekeeper Philippe Reines wrote to Chelsea Clinton the morning of the
Jan. 23, 2013 hearing. … Right out of
the gate, the first hearing question from Menendez that day covered both topics
referenced by Reines.(See “ 'We wired it': Emails suggest Clinton aide stage-managed
Benghazi hearing questions” by Catherine
Herridge,Pamela K.
Browne, Published September 06, 2016 [http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/09/06/wired-it-emails-suggest-clinton-aide-stage-managed-benghazi-hearing-questions.html]).

PART OF E-MAILS
OBTAINED BY CITIZEN’S UNITED

The information above was contained in emails
obtained from the U.S. Department by Citizens United as part of its ongoing
Freedom of Information Act litigation involving requests to the State
Department for emails from Hillary Clinton's, to her closest aides and Chelsea
Clinton.

In a statement released along with the
E-mails in question, Citizens United said “This email chain provides a rare
behind the scenes look at which Benghazi-related issues the Clinton camp had
concerns about going into Secretary Clinton’s January 2013 testimony on Capitol
Hill, and what they had apparently plotted out beforehand with a Democrat
committee member to deal with those concerns….
Citizens United will continue to release all new Benghazi emails we
receive through our FOIA lawsuits as they come in -- the American people have a
right to know the full picture.”

FOX NEWS MADE PARTICULAR NOTE OF THE
FOLLOWING WRT SENATOR ROBERT MENENDEZ

“…. Fox
News asked the Clinton campaign as well as Menendez's office if they
coordinated before the 2013 Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing; what
was meant by the term "wired;" and how the email exchange was
consistent with the principle of independent congressional
oversight. There was no immediate response from either…. In 2013, the New Jersey senator -- who is now
facing federal public corruption charges -- at the time of the hearing was
about to become chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, replacing
John Kerry who was in line to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of
state. Menendez has denied any wrongdoing.’….”

OTHER INTER-RELATIONS HIGHLIGHTED BY CITIZEN’S UNITED &
FOX NEWS

A previous release of emails from another FOIA
litigation involving Citizens United exposed that on the night of the attack,
Clinton had told Chelsea Clinton, who used the email pseudonym “Diane Reynolds”
on clintonemail.com, that the attacks were the work of an "Al Queda-like
group." That E-mail contained no mention of any anti-Islam video, which
Hillary Clinton afterward publicly linked to the 2012 terrorist attack.

Interestingly. Hillary’s daughter is
referred to by the same pseudonym in Philippe Reines’ Menendez-related email sent
to Chelsea. In should be noted that,
according to Citizens United and Fox --- “Reines is a founding member of the
Clinton-aligned consulting group Beacon Global Strategies. The online bios for its
founders and managing director suggest no group knows more about the Benghazi
terrorist attack and the Obama administration's response…. One of [Beacon Global Strategies']senior counselors is former CIA
Acting Director Mike Morell, who heavily edited the controversial Benghazi
talking points, which helped establish the administration’s initial flawed
narrative about the attack. Morell recently endorsed Clinton to the New York
Times, but later was criticized for not fully disclosing his relationship to
Beacon…. In a follow up Q-and-A with the
Times, Morell wrote: ‘Among the many things I do in my post-government life --
teaching and writing, serving on corporate boards, speaking publicly on
national security issues -- is work with Beacon Global Strategies, a firm that
has prioritized nonpartisanship. The firm’s advisory board -- composed of
appointees of both Republican and Democratic presidents, as well as career
military officers -- make that priority clear. It all stems from a strong and
shared belief that our national security is paramount and needs to be devoid of
partisan politics.’…"

CAPANO CITES EXPERIENCE OF MAYOR OF AUSTIN, TEXAS ---
FOR AN EFFECTIVE INTERVENTION ON BEHALF OF HOMELESS VETS

A GUEST -- FOLLOWING-UP ON BOB CAPANO'S INTERVIEW ON THE "CAT'S ROUNTABLE" RADIO SHOW -- DISCUSSES SUCCESSFUL CITY PROGRAM FINDING HOMES FOR "HOMELESS VETS"

***** Sticking with the issue of homelessness, Brooklyn Republican
City Council candidate Bob Capano indicates that the conversation needs to include a long look at what seems to have worked elsewhere. Capano's latest news release contains a reference to a very important interview of the Mayor of Austin, Texas --- a follow-up
guest on the very same topic on the radio program where Capano had discussed the matter of homelessness
just the week before *****

{Brooklyn, NY} – Brooklyn’s Bob Capano, a staunch supporter of the
NYPD and the leading Republican City Council candidate for the 43rd
district (Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst) race next year, today said
that Mayor de Blasio should look to Austin, Texas to help him address the
return of the homeless crisis under his tenure. The mayor of Austin, Steve
Adler, has been credited with ending homelessness among veterans in his
city over the past several years.

Adler, who was a guest yesterday on The Cats’
Roundtable, the Sunday morning radio show hosted by successful
businessman and former NYC mayoral candidate John Catsimatidis on 970 AM-
The Answer, said "we had a debt to these folks, and we were in a
position to do something about it and it began with literally putting
everybody in the same room at the same time where we had the capacity to
solve the problem. And we closed the door and said let's not leave here
until we do." Currently in Austin, any veteran identified as homeless
has a guarantee of a home.

Capano, who was himself a guest on The Cats' Roundtable the
previous week where he highlighted the increase of homelessness and
homeless encampments on New York City streets said, "The
administration in Austin, Texas proves that by making it a priority
homelessness can be addressed. Mayor Adler brought together the real estate
industry, business and community groups to work together to reduce
homelessness." Capano noted that his father was a veteran, and that
his uncle died from injuries sustained in Vietnam.

Capano added that the number of complaints to 311 about
homelessness in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights increased by 50% last year and
that "Brooklynites and New Yorkers are legitimately concerned about
aggressive panhandling, unsanitary conditions, and the safety of their
children with the rise of makeshift homes and the homeless population.
Unfortunately, this is just another example of the quality of life gains
made in our city being reversed under this Mayor and City Council."
It has been publicly reported that the city's homeless population is
at a record-high.

If ever somebody like Preet Bharara ever did a set of Charges and
Specifications against somebody like, let’s say New York State Senator Martin
Golden, the August 23rd “Common
Sense” column by Golden’s NYS-paid Chief of Staff Jerry Kassar would make an
excellent >>> Exhibit “A”
<<< in a multi-exhibit pathway
to a brick walled federal cell around the Brooklyn GOP state senator

Maybe that’s why Jerry Kassar thought he was being sly in not
mentioning his boss State Senator Marty
Golden’s name in his August 23rd column about the Brooklyn GOP
Convention decision by Justice Walker ---
even though Judge Walker, in his 40+ page written decision, specifically referred
to the opposing sides as the ”Golden
Faction” and the “Eaton Faction”

BTW, in spite of any attempt to be sly, the biggest blunder by Kassar might have been in linking the Brooklyn GOP
Convention decision part of his column with another part of his column mentioning the “…activation of an FBI
investigation coordinated with the office of Southern District U.S. Attorney
Preet Bharara …."

According to Jerry Kassar’s telling of the story, “New York State Supreme Court Judge Edgar Walker came down
with his decision in the election law case concerning control of the Kings
County Republican Party that was waged between forces loyal to Teddy Ghorra vs.
forces loyal to Craig Eaton. And Ghorra won!... As many political
observers had anticipated, Judge Walker threw out the election of Arnaldo
Ferraro as chairperson and ordered a new convention which is to take place
within 60 days of his order being filed….” (See “On the Kings County Republican Party and Teddy
Ghorra vs. Craig Eaton” .by
Jerry Kassar, 8/23/16, The Brooklyn Reporter/ editorial@brooklynreporter.com [http://brooklynreporter.com/story/on-the-kings-county-republican-party-and-teddy-ghorra-vs-craig-eaton/]).

So far, Kassar is just very wrong in his
coverage of the decision of Justice Edgar Walker about the Brooklyn GOP
convention. Maybe that's because Kassar isn't a lawyer, nor does he play
one on television; however, I think it's because Kassar is very comfortable
playing fast and loose when it comes to legalities, the election laws and
election matters generally.

THE REMAINDER OF JERRY KASSAR'S AUGUST
23RD "COMMON SENSE" COLUMN ABOUT THE BROOKLYN GOP CONVENTION COURT
DECISION IS >>> SIMPLY A TISSUE OF LIES &
MISREPRESENTATIONS

I’ll give you almost
all of the remainder of Kassar’s creative fiction untouched, as follows:

“…. Judge Walker, in just one of many comments on
the original convention called by Craig Eaton, said, ‘Given the number of
irregularities that occurred in ruling on proxy votes, it is still highly
probable that the Ghorra slate would have had more votes than the Ferraro slate
but for the said irregularities and improper conduct on the part of the
Committee in ruling on the validity of the proxies.’ The Credentials Committee
chaired by attorney Gene Berardelli was as required by party bylaws also
appointed by Eaton…. Inasmuch as, for
the past 10 months, around three quarters of the Brooklyn Republican Party
district leaders and officers have been attending regularly called meetings by
Ghorra, it seems clear that they had, on their own, rejected the outcome of the
now tainted convention. In fact, Ghorra with his committee nominated candidates
in most districts in Brooklyn and even provided State Senator Simcha Felder
with an authorization to run on the Republican line…. As for the Eaton/Ferraro team and its
followers, they will need to be very careful in any involvement they have in a
future convention because a state Supreme Court judge has in a detailed 40-page
ruling outlined with great specificity countless problems in the manner in
which then County Chairperson Craig Eaton called and conducted a convention
that elected the unpopular Arnaldo Ferraro chairperson, a chairperson so
unpopular that few district leaders and party officers would even attend the
rare meetings he called.”

The main problem with the
passages above are the whole swaths of fact finding that Kassar simply left out
of the Justice Walker decision; and almost equally deceptive are matters that
aren’t part of the decision whatsoever; and some by implication completely
contrary to the Walker holdings.

First, and foremost is the
fact that Kassar’s report doesn’t mention that Justice Walker’s
decision(s) refer to the two sides as the “Golden Faction” and the “Eaton
Faction. Kassar also completely fails to mention the existence of an
earlier written decision, whose findings and rulings are the underpinning of
Justice Walker’s most recent 40+-page decision. Taken together, the
two written decisions make clear that the proxies personally tendered by NYS
Senator Golden at the 2015 GOP Convention were part of a complex scheme
involving one of Mr. Kassar’s subordinates on State Senator Golden’s
staff, James McClelland. Judge Walker’s own recitation of McClelland’s
testimony indicates that James McClelland made a series of robocalls on behalf
of the Golden Faction that admittedly contained false information about the
nature of the proxies and the process of proxy voting. The earlier
decision had ruled that the Gene Berardelli “Credentials Committee” was not authorized
to invalidate any of the proxies based upon the proven frauds perpetrated by
the Golden staff employees.

Another significant omission by Mr. Kassar >>> is
the quite relevant holding by Justice Walker that no body was authorized to
conduct any vote to elect Golden’s chosen candidate for County Chairman, Ted
Ghorra. <<< Therefore, no meetings called by Mr.
Ghorra had any authority to conduct any business for and on behalf of the
Brooklyn GOP [It is especially odd that Mr. Kassar specifically mentioned
the completely illegal authorization of Simcha Felder to run for State Senator
on the Republican Party line --- especially since that illegal
authorization was not even executed by Mr. Ghorra [but instead that
Wilson -Pakula Authorization was executed by Mr. Kassar’s immediate subordinate
on State Senator Golden’s staff, John Qaglione].

Lastly, there
was no express or implied admonition as to how Mr. Eaton and/or Gene Berardelli
and/or Arnaldo Ferraro and/or any others associated with any faction concerning
how they need to conduct themselves with respect to any future GOP convention.
pursuant to Justice Walker's decision.

THE FUNNY THING ABOUT SEARCH
ENGINES.....

If you were to put in a GOOGLE search for .” Ghorra Eaton Walker Preet
Bharara”; . ; or “Simcha Felder Ghorra Walker Preet Bharara”; or “Kassar
Ghorra Walker Preet Bharara” --- at or near the top of the
items that pop up is “On
the Kings County Republican Party and Teddy Ghorra vs. Craig ...brooklynreporter.com/.../on-the-kings-county-republican-party-and-teddy-ghorra-vs-...
Aug 23,
2016."
I'm sure several other similar searches would probably yield a similar result.

About the only “smart thing” that Kassar did
in his coverage of the Justice Walker decision was to leave the name of his
boss “Marty Golden” out of his August 23rd column…..
However, in spite of that, if you put in the terms, ” Golden Eaton Ghorra
Walker Preet Bharara” guess what comes up as the number two item
--- you’re right if you guessed “On
the Kings County Republican Party and Teddy Ghorra vs. Craig ...brooklynreporter.com/.../on-the-kings-county-republican-party-and-teddy-ghorra-vs-...
Aug 23, 2016“ [Right after one of my own earlier posts about Justice
Walker’s Brooklyn GOP Convention decision; and it will probably drop a
spot because of this very post].
